Workshop photos

Monday August 18, 2008

Abby, from the Roseway, posted photos on her website from the painting workshop, so I grabbed a few and I’m posting them here. You can get an idea of how beautiful some of the spots are that we painted. We did some work on land and some from the boat. Painting from the boat went suprisingly well. It did a minimal amount of moving, so we stayed on the boat when the weather was a bit less certain.

Dwight, the captain, let me drive the boat for a while one day. This is me being a ham. All I was really doing was keeping an eye out for other boats (we only passed one) and watching the compass to try to stay on a heading (harder than you think with that massive boat and changing currents.)

This is Patty and me painting in a meadow on Vinalhaven. It was a beautiful and secluded little field.

This is me talking to Carol about her painting in the same meadow. We spent all afternoon on Sunday painting here.

Kathy stood on the edge of the meadow facing the house and barn.

On the first day I started the workshop with a demo, and to make sure the students had plenty of time to paint when we got to land, I just did the demo while we were under sail. The boat was pretty stable, so I just picked out some islands to paint off in the distance. It worked pretty well and got the ball rolling.

Walking back through the field you could see the Roseway waiting for us.

When Ari, Roseway crew member, and I went for a swim we jumped off the bowsprit. It was deceptively high. Above is me and below is her.
